Chapter 1

Well I guess I should start by telling you who I am. My names Isabella Swan, Bella for short, I'm 22 years old and grew up in a small town in Washington called Forks. I lived with my Mum and Dad up until I was 5 when my mum walked out on us. That was the last time I saw her and from that day it was just me and my dad. Well up until I was 16. At 16 my life completely changed. I was just a normal girl back then. A girl who loved music and loved to sing. I entered a competition online for a record company looking for the next big music thing. It really was something I did just to have a go. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would win. But when that women turned up on my doorstep wanted to speak with me and take me for a real audition I was blown away. That audition changed my life forever. Before I knew it I was being introduced to everyone and anyone that would listen to me sing. I was meeting my life long idols and suddenly I was in the studio everyday recording songs. I was living my dream. Everything I ever wanted was being given to me.

By the time I turned 18 I had an album out and was fast moving up the charts. That was when I had to make the biggest discussion I thought I would ever have to make in my life. I was given the option to move out to New York for my career. For me it wasn't that different from being a normal 18 year old. While people were leaving for College I had to decide whether or not to leave the one man in my life that had always been there at the end of the day good or bad. Dad was so supportive telling me that if this was what I really wanted then I should go for it and he'd support me all the way. He even offered to come with me but I could never ask him to leave his home. He loved it to much even if he did love me more. So I said yes and for the next 4 years I got to live a dream life even meet a guy who I thought loved me as much as my dad. I was doing concerts and touring all over the country. I was on the front of magazines and meeting people who I use to dance around my bedroom too. I was living the dream that so many people wanted.

So I guess you're wondering why at this moment I was on my way to catch a train to get away from my dream life. Well that's something that I'd rather not talk about. I like to remember the good parts of this life I had. I'd had an awesome time and met some amazing people. Especially Jasper my manager who I met when I first moved out to New York. He was the first person that I actually could call a friend. He was always there to drag me back down to earth when he felt I was getting to far away. He was my best friend and because of that I felt rubbish for what I was doing to him. I had to find a way to thank him for everything he had done for me. I had to find someone to replace me before I could go off and do what I really needed to do. So when I heard his voice as I walked to the station I couldn't help but stop and smile. It was like God was giving me a message. I pulled out my phone and called.

"Jasper, Hey you need to get down to Grand Central station now. There's someone who you need to hear. I think it could really help you" and with that I hung up before walking over to the busker and throwing a twenty dollar bill in his case. He nodded to me I just smiled back and continued my way to figure out what it was I needed to do.

So I Know it's been a hell of a while since I've even posted a story. I lost my passion for writing a while ago and well I guess it just took me a while to get back into it. This story is something I really enjoyed imagining in my head whenever I'm on long journeys or having a hard time and just want to get away from it.

University seems to have completely brought back my love for writing. Not that I can say the idea of a 8000 word dissertation is making me feel like I want to write anything. But anything is better than that so I guess this is my way of procrastinating from my work. I can't promise that this will be updated regularly but if any of you have been to university you'll know that it doesn't leave much time to do your own thing.

I really hope you enjoy this story
